@BadlyDrawnDedede Common trend for many Switch games. Some players refer to as a Switch tax for games that are also sold physically but I also seen digital-only game get a price hike as well.
I wouldn't wait too long if you can buy it,. I am not holding out for Nintendo to release a stand alone version of each game cause they may not As we all know, Nintendo makes really weird business decisions. Also, physical copies may not be easy to come by this holiday season, though there is a the digital version until March.
@impurekind Eh...such a collection would raise the price substantially. Nintendo would have to remake Super Mario 64 DS and Super Mario 3D Land from the ground since those games were not developed for higher resolutions in mind. Such a collection makes no business sense as only rich hardcore players would buy it. I will admit the presentation of the compilation is kind of crap though
Not everybody is loaded with money...it is possible some people may not be able to purchase 3D All*Stars between launch and de-listing dates due to other priorities.
Most retailers seem to be selling Super Mario All*Stars, in other words it is still presumably in stock everywhere. There is no reason to be scalping and buying from scalpers.
Why hasn't there been a sequel to Rayman Legends? It did well enough to warrant a Switch port. Instead, we got Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle which to be fair is good game but I would prefer a Rayman game.
"This expansion pack is available as we speak for $7.99 / £5.99 / €7.99, so feel free to get on that immediately if you already own a copy of the game."
I think it is time for a new Sonic Collection. Yes, I know there is that SEGA Genesis Collection that includes some Sonic games but I'm talking about a nearly full collection which should include all the main 2D Sonic games including the absent Sonic 3 & Knuckles from the Genesis Collection and Sonic CD. All the Genesis and Game Gear spin-offs should also be included. Put in a galley akin to Mega Man Legacy Collection, slap on $39.99 and there is the Sonic Mega Collection: 30th Anniversary Edition. I would buy this as opposed to another stand alone release of Sonic 1 or 2.
@nintendoknife Well, I stand corrected...the light switch is entirely useless. I wouldn't by it. Better off saving your bells for a floor lamp instead.
Looks like Nintendo need to go back and reevaluate their services. I understand Nintendo has announced that eshop would be limited in said countries, but it is fair for customers to expect to re-download games they already purchased. Also, it is important to note that re-downloading games is all customers can do on said systems since Nintendo is not selling Wii U and 3DS games in those regions, only Switch games. Good thing I live in the U.S. For those who live in Latin Amercia, I would suggest opening a U.S. or European Switch account and buy your games on those accounts if possible, though I do not know how costly it would be to buy foreign prepaid codes cost in those countries.
While I admire that he uses his free time constructively, but he should of put his skills to something more worthwhile. I am not going to point fingers at him as a wrongdoer because I don't think it that was his intent. How I see it, he just wanted to showcase his talent to the internet but did not realize his creations would have negative impact against the internet with scalpers and Nintendo customers. Hopefully, he learns are good lessen from this.
The light switch is a decorative item for your house. You probably can also turn the lights on, off, or dim with it as well but you can already do that by pressing the up d-pad, or micro button without the light switch. I suppose the item can be used if someone ones wants a realistic looking interior, but it is nearly useless.

@JohnnyC Been there, done that...I mean as a victim. Financial losses can be recovered through the bank. Admittedly, it is annoying not much of a problem unless somebody is stupid enough to let it happen too long. Though, I imagine recovering losses could be much more difficult in certain countries.
I am aware Sony got hacked in 2011 and they did poor job communicating with customers about it all. The waited too long to address the compromised information which resulted lawsuits. In addition, the compromised info was reported not encrypted aside from credit cards. Also, I never said I was rooting entirely for the competition. I am a fan of Sony and Nintendo, otherwise I would not have an account on Nintendo Life, or own several Sony and Nintendo products. I am just saying Nintendo needs to do is let customers know they are working behind the scenes to improve their security as well recommending security measure which the latter was the least they done. I get it, hackers happen and no online security is absolute but I am criticizing Nintendo for not looking into improving their security.
You are probably right. I am reading reports of online hacking to other online services. However, I still stand by my comment. Nintendo and other online services need to step up and assure customers that they doing what they can to secure user information. Nintendo did not make such a comment.
If publishers and developers would like to keep their business moving, they should release their products in all territories when & wherever possible. To wait for CERO to reopen would not make any business sense.
TellTale Games was relaunched under LCG Entertainment, Inc. Unfortunately, select titles are not available to purchase such as Tales From The Borderlands and Back to the Future. I am certain 2K Games will bring back Tales From The Borderlands eventually but not so certain about the rest of back catalog of game.
I would say a slight miss...it has good ideas that should of been fleshed out more, only three levels...that's it. Animations are limited as if Wayforward was on a tight budget with time constraints though I am not confirming that was the case, that just how the game looks like to me. I do however like the humorous banter between character, looks like the effort went to most of the writing and voice acting. I would actually recommend this game but for only $2.99 at most, $7.99 is too high.
Just watched it though I knew of its existance for a while now. Cute movie, but nothing ground breaking. I would really only suggest it to Animal Crossing fans.
I will not be picking it up the Switch. Actually, I won't be playing Doom Eternal for awhile. I still need to finish the previous Doom, as I barely played it. When the time comes, I will buy Doom Eternal on PC for that high performance. I do however appreciate Panic Button's effort to bring such demanding games onto inferior platforms.
I remember playing Alien Hominid on my internet browser way back. I enjoyed it so much, I got hyped up when I discovered they released a console version on PS2. Of course, I also bought the HD release on XBox Live Arcade as well. With most games releasing digitally these days, I am surprised that Alien Hominid HD has not seen a release on Steam and PSN. It is good to know The Behemoth has not abandoned the IP...though I am still hoping for a re-release of the HD version of the original game on Switch, perhaps bundle it with Invasion.
Nintendo has supported Smash Tournaments by hosting their own. Nintendo World Championships, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Invitational, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate World Championship 3v3 just to name a few. HungryBox even competed against Reggie in the Nintendo World Championships. Yeah, so shut up HungryBox.
I know you are only joking but it is possible that Build-A-Bear started production on their plush before Sonic got a redesign for the movie so they couldn't go back to fix it. Sometimes in business, they have move forward with what they have with no chance to make changes.
I do find it kind of odd for Build-A-Bear to make a Sonic design from scratch when they already made one for the modern version Sonic and Tails characters in 2016.
Nope. The more valuable Funko Pops are usually only 30 bucks at most. I do buy Funko Pops for shelf display if I see any I like but I don't collect them. I will probably buy this Shantae Pop.
A port could happen in the future since SEGA owns the IP, but Nintendo did pay for exclusivity rights highly likely under contract with SEGA so a port of Bayonetta 2 and 3 are not likely until the contract expires unless the contract is non-expiring which would mean such ports will never happen.
